Hello Boater,
 

Wakeboat Wonder

Sea Ray 260 Surf

The Best of Both Worlds

When we say the best of both worlds, we mean both the wake surfing world -- as can be seen by the size of this wake -- and the sportboat bowrider world. Because she's a Sea Ray designed for open water, not just large ponds, the whole family can enjoy her when not impressing the admiring gallery. See her at FLIBS, Oct 25-20.  See Our Video->

FlushMaster

Flush 1- 4 Outboards Automatically

Most outboard engine makers suggest that saltwater boaters flush their engines for 15 minutes after every outing. That's 45 minutes for the triples seen here or a full hour for quads. With the FlushMaster, you just hook up the hoses to the unit, turn it on and go have a cocktail. We like it and it's very affordable. (FYI -- The company is looking for dealers.) See Our Video->
